I have no clue. Thats why I'm inquiring. Ive got a buddy who is a very experienced reef keeper for over 30 yrs who mentioned it to me and said he doesn't understand why ray keepers don't use this method.

Well when I used to run a nitrate reactor with sulpha beads the ph used to go very low coming out of that
I then had to buff it back up throw a calcium reactor
So I may have got it the wrong way round
Ask your mate if he needs to buff after the reactor he runs

I agree with everything said about the sulfur reactors, the water will come out will extremely low Ph and will need to be buffered. It won't be to the same extent as the reef tank, but still.
I personally use a Aquaripure reactor. It took a while to get it to work quite right on my stingray tank, but nitrates has been consistently close to 0 (i.e. undetectable using the API test) for several months now and I do water changes monthly and only at 20%. I realize that this revelation might unleash a lot of scorn from people, but I've had the tank for almost 3 years and everyone is healthy and happy.

thanks i was also thinking about this method but i don't know of anyone using it with Rays.
Just me - I guess. I have 2 hystrixes male and female along with a few other species in that tank. The female is about to turn 2, the female will be 3 in March.
That is correct. I have layered floss in first sump compartment and no other biological filtration. I do have carbon, UV, and phosphate reactors as well.
